The Chemistry of Polyurethane Coatings
Not a polyurethane coatings expert yet? Our highly acclaimed preconference tutorial aims to make you one, and to enable you to follow the top-level presentations during the main conference competently. The exclusive four-hour tutorial (limited to a maximum of 20 attendees) will explain to you the basic conceptions and chemistries that are at work in polyurethane coatings – in solventborne, waterborne or radiation curing systems, for the most important applications.

Specifically, the tutorial will address the following questions
  • What are the coatings-relevant standard polyisocyanates and their characteristic properties?
     
  • What are the characteristic features of polyol components that are in use for coatings applications? (polyether, polyester, polyacrylate polyols)
     
  • How do these components influence the coatings performance? Which combinations are suitable for which applications and why?
     
  • What are the specific characteristics in the binder chemistry of
      – 1K and 2K solventborne PUR coatings
      – 1K and 2K waterborne PUR coating
      – UV curing PUR coatings
      – PUR powder coatings
      – dual cure systems
The Lecturers

Simon Waddington is C.A.S.E. Market Development Leader Polyurethanes at Dow Europe GmbH in Horgen, Switzerland.
